Former prosecutor sentenced for DUI

March 13, 2007

A former McHenry County assistant state's attorney was sentenced to a year of court supervision and fined $950 after pleading guilty to drunken driving, officials said Monday.

Troy A. Wise, 32, of Woodstock pleaded guilty Friday in McHenry County Circuit Court to misdemeanor driving under the influence. He also was ordered to contribute $150 to the group Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists, according to court records.

Wise was cited after his car hit a telephone pole Feb. 14 on Illinois Highway 176 near Marengo. He was fired the next day from the state's attorney office, said Thomas Carroll, first assistant state's attorney.
